The Camp de Rieucros where Grothendieck and his mother
spent part of the war On November 12, 1938 the law concerning 'undesirables'
was passed; among others, all Germans residing in France were to be interned
in special camps. Alexander Grothendieck (aged 12 or 13) was interned
in Rieucros together with his mother. His father was in the Camp du Vernet for
men, whereas Alexander was allowed to remain with his mother in the women's
camp of Rieucros.

Grothendieck's father Sascha Schapiro was interned, and from which he was
deported to Auschwitz in 1942

La Guespy and Chambon-sur-Lignon La Guespy was the Home for Jewish children run by
Protestants in the village of Chambon-sur-Lignon during and after World War II.
They saved countless Jewish children from Nazi roundups. Grothendieck spent
the years 1943-45 at La Guespy and attended the Collège
Cévénol while living there. He mentions this in
La Clef des Songes, pp. 94-99.

Comme Appelé du Néant --
As If Summoned From the Void
(Part I)
(Part II)
A very interesting two-part article by Allyn Jackson, from the
Notices of the AMS (Part I is in Vol 51, No. 4, Part II is in Vol 51, No. 10),
full of anecdotes about Grothendieck's youth and professional life.

Eine FrauThis 1500 page typed manuscript
in German contains Hanka Grothendieck's memories of her life from 1900 to 1928,
the year in which she conceived Alexander. The story is told in the third
person. As far as fairly
extensive research and conversations with friends, family members and other
records (mostly conducted by W. Scharlau) have been
able to confirm, the book appears to reflect the factual truth in
every detail except for changing of the names of the family members:
Lotte Babendeerde
for Hanka Grothendieck, Redy Spenzer for Alfred Raddatz, Frigga (Ilka) for
Frode (Maidi), Hans, Peter and Helmut for her brothers Fritz, Claus and
Siegfried... Sascha Schapiro is called Sascha in the book.

La Clef des SongesThe third chapter Le voyage à Memphis (1):
l'errance contains further details about the lives of Grothendieck's
parents, including some things not described in Eine Frau
